About the Lansing Campus

Cooley
Law School was founded in Lansing, in the heart of Michigan's government
center. The Lansing campus is steps from the State Capitol Building, the
Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, local courts, and the state's
administrative offices.

The Lansing campus community works and studies in the heart of downtown
Lansing, with great neighborhoods with affordable
housing nearby, a reasonable cost of living, and a diverse population.
Lansing's extracurricular activities offer a wide range of opportunities
for students to join together for service, culture, and sports.

Facilities

Cooley
has been instrumental in the rejuvenation of downtown Lansing. The three
Lansing buildings—the 222,000 sq. ft. classroom building, 60,000 sq. ft.
library, and 64,000 sq. ft Center for Research and Study (CRS), have been completely renovated.
The Lansing campus allows all students to learn in state-of-the-art wireless
classrooms, to practice in court facilities, and to study in the spacious Brennan
Library.

The 10-story 220,000 square foot Cooley Center, located in downtown Lansing,
Michigan, comprises a state-of-the-art courtroom complex, wireless technology
throughout the building, bookstore, classrooms, the Career & Professional
Development Office, student organization offices, and faculty offices.
Cooley's Lansing operations also include the Brennan Law Library, and the Center
for Research and Study.

Center for Research and Study

Cooley's Brennan Law Library is
located at 330 S. Washington Ave, Lansing, Michigan and is about a two minute
walk from the main Lansing building. This 60,000 sq. ft. library is accessible
to all Cooley students, faculty, and staff. The CRS building is connected to the Brennan library and contains additional library space, study rooms, and a student lounge.

Living in Lansing

The
city, with a population of 125,000, is home to the Lansing
Lugnuts minor league baseball team and Cooley
Law School Stadium, Potter Park Zoo, Impression 5 Science Museum,
and the R.E. Olds Museum. Michigan's Capital City is located on the banks
of the Grand River and our River Trail offers opportunities for walking
and biking. A population of about 450,000 lives in the three-county region
surrounding Lansing, spread across many smaller towns, each with their
own distinctive identity ranging from the big-10 atmosphere of East Lansing
to the quiet charm of Williamston.

Lansing was recently named one of “10
Great Cities for Young Adults” by financial news organization Kiplinger
Washington Editors Inc. The Lansing region was also awarded the "Five
Star Quality of Life Quotient" by Expansion Management magazine.

For students enrolling at the Lansing campus, the most convenient housing
option is downtown, where students can choose from traditional apartments,
loft-style, or condominiums, all within walking distance of the law school.
The Lansing campus is conveniently located just blocks from the State Capitol
Building and federal and state court systems.
